I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

In late October.

He took time out from his busy schedule and asked someone to find Yang Zheng.

He planned to speed up the development of Xinghai Automobile Group in the field of electric vehicles.

Without his support, it would take three or four months to design an appearance and finalize it.

This is still at a fast speed.

If we take our time and work on it, it would take more than half a year.

It will be 2015 soon.

If nothing unexpected happens, several giants of early electric vehicles in Longguo will be born.

So, we must speed up~.

Otherwise, there will be more brands and fierce competition.

When Yang Zheng learned that Xiao Yunhai was looking for him, he immediately rushed to the palace.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yang of Xinghai Automobile is here."

Lin Na knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Please ask him to come in."

"Yes!"

Lin Na responded, then turned and left.

Xiao Yunhai took out four car design drawings and Tesla's future electric control technology from the cabinet behind him, as well as motor technical information of brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Bosch, Tesla, BMW and Siemens.

The three most important parts of new energy electric vehicles are motors, electric controls and batteries, also commonly known as the three-electric system.

In terms of battery technology, Xinhan is now absolutely leading.

And it is still a presence that many battery manufacturers cannot match.

In the field of electric control, he remembers that Tesla is the best.

There are too many motors.

This year you are ahead, next year I am ahead.

In short, just buy them all and let the R&D personnel figure it out by themselves.

Or after combining these technical cases, you can develop a self-contained motor.

"Your Highness."

Yang Zheng walked into the office and bowed respectfully.

"Sit down."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"I asked you to fly to several countries to negotiate with people."

Yang Zheng: "Your Highness is polite. This is what I should do."

"Well, I asked you to come here today mainly to talk to you about Lotus's entry into electric vehicles. Here are some technical information and some car design drawings I collected."

"For the technical information, please give it to the company's research and technical personnel."

"Let's take a look at the appearance picture first."

Appearance picture?

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and without saying much, he stood up and took a large stack of information, which weighed at least 10 kilograms.

Put the technical information aside, after all, he couldn't understand it.

He focused on the appearance picture of the 4 car.

"Lotus F1"

"Lotus F2"

"Meteor S1?"

Yang Zheng was confused when he opened the album, but his eyes were attracted by the beautiful car appearance pictures in the album.

"This...this, who designed this, it is so beautiful."

"Who designed it?Don't worry about it, just finish reading it first. "Xiao Yunhai said with a smile.

He took out the 4 exterior design drawings.

Absolutely nothing to say.

Very beautiful.

The prototype of Lotus F1 is the previous life's Xiaomi SU7, which is an improved version of Porsche Taycan. It is not exactly the same. It is based on these two and further optimizes the design.

And F1 is divided into two versions, namely the 2-door version and the 4-door version.

Lotus F2 has a very different appearance, adopts a completely new design, and there is no trace of imitation.

The two versions of Lotus F1 are strictly coupe models.

It is used to lower the threshold.

Especially the 4-door version, which is mainly for volume .

What’s the point if the entire electric department only sells a few hundred units a year?

Even if one unit makes 100 million, it doesn’t mean much to Xiao Yunhai. What he wants is to be able to drive the industrial chain and jobs, which means that production and sales are the most important.

So under this concept.

Lotus electric department, F1 model is to lower the threshold and sell in large quantities.

But even if it is for the sake of selling in large quantities, the price will not be too low, which will inevitably lead to the sales of the British fuel vehicle department. Although Lotus fuel vehicles can’t sell hundreds of units a year, selling too low means destroying the brand value, so the threshold of the coupe model is at least 80,000 or 90,000 US dollars.

Positive Under normal circumstances, it costs 100,000 US dollars.

F2 is also a coupe type, but the exterior design is different.

His idea is to make Lotus into Porsche.

With the brand awareness and positioning of Lotus, it is no problem to sell it at the price of Porsche.

Meteor S1 is completely an electric supercar, and its price is one level lower than Ferrari.

It is between Lotus and Ferrari.

A good exterior design has a great effect on car sales.

Whether it is a man or a woman, they are all aesthetic animals.

The first visual is to look good.

If the appearance cannot impress people, or it is mediocre, even No matter how good the internal performance is, there are still only a few people willing to pay for it.

On the contrary, the exterior design is good and the appearance is high.

Even if the performance of the car is a little worse, many people can accept it as long as it is not too bad.

Why is the sales volume of the Xiaomi SU7 so high? Many people are attracted by the appearance. Although many people complain that it is copied from Porsche, there are still many people willing to pay for it.

What's more, it is 2014 now.

The Porsche Taycan has not been launched yet, and the Panamera is different from the later ones.

So even if there is a trace of Porsche elements, it will definitely not cause a lot of criticism like the Xiaomi.

"How about it, how is the exterior design?"

After taking two sips of coffee and refreshing himself, Xiao Yunhai looked at Yang Zheng with a smile.

Yang Zheng was reluctant to put down the exterior picture in his handPaper, said excitedly: "This is definitely designed by a top car master, the design is so beautiful, if it can be restored to 90%, no, even 80%, I bet the sales will definitely not be bad, and it will definitely be welcomed by the market after it is launched."

"Very good, you have the same idea as me."

Xiao Yunhai said seriously: "Take these four exterior design drawings, arrange for someone to register the design patent, and start research and development as soon as possible. I hope to see the prototype by the end of January next year, that is, before the Chinese New Year."

"Hold a press conference before May next year, and then officially go on sale in July, is there any problem?"

It has to be said that building a car in 9 months is a great difficulty for many people.

But Xiao Yunhai's requirements are not difficult to achieve.

First of all, the factory.

It is completely possible to use one of the two existing Xinghai Automobile factories.

And if you hurry up, it is not impossible to build a brand new car factory in 9 months.

In short, it depends on how determined you are.

Although Yang Zheng felt that time was a bit tight.

Especially the technical data.

Although the battery is not difficult, the electronic control and motor still need time to digest.

And for the prototype, at most 3 months are given.

3 months to build a prototype. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

It is also necessary to conquer the motor and electronic control technology, and a series of other technologies that need to be solved.

It is completely crazy.

But Xiao Yunhai has already said it, and his tone is so serious.

No need to question it.

What else can he say?

Gritting his teeth, a firm look flashed in his eyes: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will not fail my mission and complete Your Highness' instructions."

"Very good."

"I just hope that I will not shirk my responsibilities."

Xiao Yunhai showed satisfaction on his face.

After the chat, Yang Zheng returned to the company without stopping and immediately convened a company meeting.

Gathered the electric department of Lotus (a newly established department in Xinhan) and the personnel of Meteor Automobile, as well as the company's technical research and development department, and sent the information given to him by Xiao Yunhai to the corresponding people.

"Everyone take a look."

"This is a new project of the company."

"Your Highness has given us three months to make a prototype car. A press conference will be held in May next year, and it will be officially launched in July. There is no need for me to remind you of the urgency of time, and you don't need to complain to me. I have already signed a military order with His Highness.

So, don't raise any objections. After reading the information, immediately start the project promotion work." []

As soon as he came up, Yang Zheng raised the level of the problem to stop others from complaining to him.

As expected, when everyone heard that it was arranged by Xiao Yunhai, they all shut up and looked at the information in their hands carefully.

However, when some people saw theAfter reading the design atlas, they all exclaimed.

"This car has a beautiful appearance."

"This appearance is well designed and looks pleasing to the eye."

"Great, if we really find this car, the appearance alone will attract many people."

Faced with everyone's exclamation, Yang Zheng was very calm.

After all, he had been amazed before.

He told the group to fully assist Meteor and Lotus in the development of these projects.

And asked the technical department to go all out and not drag its feet.

Absorb the technical information in hand as soon as possible.

Whether it is the electronic control or the motor, it must be done before January.

Even if some performance indicators do not meet the standards in the early stage, they can be optimized later. In short, he wants to see the prototype car at the end of January.

Under Yang Zheng's coercion and urging, the entire Xinghai Automobile Group started to operate at high speed.

Half a month passed in a flash.

It is mid-November.

Yidian Technology announced that it has received the second round of financing, that is, the B round, with a financing amount of US$7 billion. The shares sold are only 10%, and the investors are Ali, BlackRock, and JPMorgan Chase.

Among them, Ali has 2% as a strategic investment.

BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase each account for 4%!

This also means that the valuation of Yidian Technology has reached 70 billion US dollars.

Although it is not ranked in the top 20 among global Internet technology companies.

But in the field of unicorns, Internet unicorn companies, it is already the world's number one.

..0

It is also the world's unlisted Internet company with the highest valuation.

After the financing, Xiao Yunhai's company has reduced its shares in Yidian Technology to 79.2%, and is still the controlling shareholder of Yidian Technology.

Firmly control the direction of this company.

And even if the shares are reduced to less than 30%, there will be no situation where the company cannot be controlled.

You can adopt the AB share agreement.

However, he can't reduce his holdings by that much.

After all, Yidian Technology is not just about games, e-commerce, food delivery, short videos, and streaming media.

More importantly, it is a mouthpiece and a propaganda function.

Control of public opinion must be regulated by the government.

The importance of public opinion war is self-evident.

The B round of financing of 7 billion US dollars has undoubtedly become a hot search on the news platform.

It has attracted widespread attention and discussion.

Many people in Longguo don't know about Yidian Technology.

I don't understand why this company is worth so much money.

As a result, when it was revealed that the more than a dozen popular games in Longguo and even the world, such as Honor of Kings, Boom Beach, Happy Elimination, Cool Run, Gunfire Assault, Speed ​​​​Everyday, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, etc., were all launched by several game companies under Yidian Technology.

I sighed that Yidian Technology is the most profitable game company in the world,Even stronger than Penguin.

Moreover, their e-commerce, information, food delivery, taxi, and short video businesses have all achieved global leadership.

Even their least outstanding streaming media business already has more than 50 million paying users, and their business covers the entire Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, as well as Japan and South Korea.

Its influence is catching up with Netflix.

However, they have not entered the Chinese market.

It is too difficult to crack down on piracy. Yidian Technology is not interested in cracking down on Chinese piracy business, but is increasing its overseas layout, such as South America, the Middle East and other regions.

As for Netflix, its main focus is still on the North American and European markets.

In the Asian market, they are completely unable to compete.

Even Yidian Technology can't beat Yidian Technology even if it spends money.

And Yidian Technology also has two cash cows, games and information (advertising business), with sufficient funds, which is completely incomparable to Netflix.

After spending money on copyrights, it is simply not as good as Yidian Technology.

As for why Yidian Technology's streaming business is not as good as Netflix, it is mainly due to the latecomer factor and the fact that it did not pay much attention in the early stage.

Otherwise, how could Netflix surpass it.

However, according to the current development speed, it will definitely surpass it in 2015.

(Many people think that writing about business development is a bit boring, so I will speed up the progress in the future and will not write about some business negotiations in detail.)

(Ps: I will upload a few Lotus F1, F2 and Meteor S1 car design drawings at 1 o'clock. You can't see the pictures in the work-related section, but you can use a computer to see them. Power).
